DDA Chapter 7

[Tammi67]

Amy - the pictures of Alyssa with Jack are so sweet. Poor Matthew looks so confused! I think you will absolutely have to have a 4th so he doesn't end up with middle child syndrome!

 

[lovesdumbo]

i know i said you could suprise me but i do have one thing i dont want any of the fab five and i am pretty sure i am getting a male.

Oh, OK

Bernadette sorry you will not found out the results sooner. Please don't stress, I am doing enough for both of us

Thanks! Work is done and I packed most of our clothes tonight and even have extra room and am bringing so much more than i usually do. I just have to pull our carryon stuff together. I made Emma some coloring pages on 4x6 index cards. I need to make some postcards and want to make some CM thank you cards. AND...I really want to do Halley's pants.

Gary's cheeks really swelled up today. I called the Dentist & they wanted to see him. They found nothing wrong & said that it was from his teeth being pulled. Poor thing looks like a chipmunk He just took some pain meds, so hopefully he will sleep good tonight.

We got our dining room table today & it looks so nice! It will look even better once the walls are painted & flooring put down

Hope the swelling goes down soon! Congrat on the new table.

My "Rabbit, rabbit" wish came true!
My mom just called and said her biopsies from last week are benign! She has to go back to the OB/GYN for some additional tests on May 22, but she has managed to clear one more hurdle!

Bernadette - I am sure it will all work out just fine!

Thanks!

Ok, finally got everything uploaded & scanned.

So awesome!!!! Looks like such a magical trip!!!! LOVE your professional photos. I would bought them all too!

I hope that you can stop the antibiotic early in your trip and she can avoid any sun side effects.

Thanks!

I also saw a coworker today and she asked me to take her shift tomorrow night. I really hope that it is a big money maker

Hope that went well!

Bernadette - you will get everything done. Also, I am glad you got your refrigerator request in . I bet Emma will be fine in the sun wth your stroller shade.

Thanks!

Bernadette, I hope everyone is perfect for your trip!!

Thanks!

Bernadette- Yay for Emma's spot's clearing up. You're almost there and it will be fine.

Thanks!

Bernadette -- How is Emma? I sure hope you have a great trip!

Thanks! Her spots are nearly gone and no signs of any reactions from the penicillin. She is SO excited!!!

Sooooooo Dana's company is sending him to Orlando on business January 12-16th.....Hmmmmmmmm....

Cool!!!

I picked up our Epcot Passports at Staples and they came out Fabulous I did a page for each country and one for each kidcot station in future world. Each was printed on 5 X 7" cardstock and I made a custumized cover with each of their names. That gives them a blank page above each of the passport pages which should give them plenty of room to take notes or draw pictures or whatever. I got a clear front cover and a navy leatherette back cover for each. They are all spiral bound at the top. The spiral will serve as a place to attach the little attachements that you get at each Kidcot station. Now we won't have to carry around those masks with the wooden sticks that don't fit well anywhere I'm so pleased. Hopefully the kids will be half as happy.

If anyone wants the files let me know and I'll email them. I will even customize the top page if you give me the names.

Those came out awesome!!!!

Guess what Elizabeth, Marci and Lindsay (even though you are on your trip)? Emma and I are officially booked to fly into Dallas on Oct 16th!!!!

After seeing Alyssa with Baby Jack, I think she's going to be a good helper. Matthew on the other hand, well...

What great photos! Jack is so precious!

Quick update on my mom's brother. They were able to shrink the tumor in his lung, but he has been diagnosed with liver cancer. They will try chemo to see if it will shrink this tumor to help with the pain he is having, but its definitely a death sentence.

I'm so sorry.

So does anyone think I should attempt this? What color?

Cool! Lime green of course!

Speaking of babies, Bob's sister Julie is pregnant with the first the family has had since her!

Congrats!

I took a 2 1/2 hour nap after works today, I will probably be up all night now. But I am officially off work till I return from my trip

Gary's face is still swollen some, hopefully it will go down soon. I still have my head cold, but I am hopeful that come Monday I will feel almost 100%

Nap sounds like a great thing!!! Hope you're 100% on Monday!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Lime green, of course. The Dis color!

 

[marcij]

Those are great, Deb!

I agree. Great work, as usual!

Guess what Elizabeth, Marci and Lindsay (even though you are on your trip)?




Emma and I are officially booked to fly into Dallas on Oct 16th!!!!

Terrific news! I can't wait to meet you. What can we do to help?

Thanks, Amy! Wednesday could be the turning point day for me as far as preschool goes, so a few prayers that I make the right decision and a little pixie dust would certainly be appreciated.

Anne Marie, those photos are terrific! I can see why you bought so many! Your older daughter is gorgeous; your younger one is cute as a button; your son is quite handsome. You and your husband look terrific, too! My favorite is the kids jumping in their formal wear.

Sending lots of PD.

I'm so sorry. I hope they can give him good quality of life

Me too, that is my favorite. The kids loved doing that one too..actually they jumped about 10 times before we got that shot.

No unfortunately they do not offer a photopass. Dana & I were saying we wish they did, but they make so much money on fool's like me that there is no incentive to offer it.

Too true. I'm a sucker for them... I went in and got the biggest package the last time. Before that, I was always getting the smaller ones and having to trade up. I surrendered and went ahead and got the big one to save time on the last cruise.

I hope you feel much better tomorrow. Ditto for Gary.

Sending you tons of PD for a magical trip!

I told Bob at dinner tonight that you've made me want to go on a Disney cruise! He didn't reject the notion!

WARNING... WARNING... WARNING​

They are truly addictive!

Amy -- the pics of baby Jack and your kids are terrific. I'm glad that you can use some of the things given to me when I had Jake that were either wrong season for his size or duplicates of things I already had. I'm not going to tell my sister that I had them in the box for her to use with Will and forgot about them until now when Will is too big for them. Your gain!

The service for our friend was beautiful, and a true testament to her strong faith and how she lived her life.

Good night everyone!

Evening all...


Heidi- for peace for your uncle and you and your family.

Theresa- for getting the party details figured out!

Elizabeth- I am so excited now! We are keeping it a secret from Emma, she'll drive us bonkers from now til October if she knows. We'll have to come up with a plan to meet up as it gets closer. I am sure Joe will what we want

Anne Marie- Those pictures are fabulous!!! The jumping one is my favorite as well.

Tammi- I hope that Nicholas makes it back in time for the game. Enjoy shopping with your mom.

Chanon- I love the colored slip. Peach would be a great choice.

Amy- Thanks for FINALLY posting pics of baby Jack. Tell Julie and Dave he's a handsome little guy.

Janet and Bernadette- Have an absolutely magical time on your trips. Can't wait to hear all about them.

For those I missed, and 's

TGIF! We've had a few lovely days around here, so we've been outside a lot! The Dell tech guy also fixed our computer, so I was finally able to get the pictures off our camera.

After seeing Alyssa with Baby Jack, I think she's going to be a good helper. Matthew on the other hand, well...

And Jen, Julie said you were welcome to post an update on the "Mom's to be Thread," if you'd like.

Great pictures. All 3 kids are adorable.

Here are some of our Shutters pictures.

I can see why you bought so many!!! They came out awesome.

You definitely should

Reds a little too bold for me!

Brown was my first thought, but black would have a WOW factor too

Gary's face is still swollen some, hopefully it will go down soon. I still have my head cold, but I am hopeful that come Monday I will feel almost 100%

I hope you both feel better. Napping was a great idea. You need to be in top form for your trip

I dropped off our check at the bank to lock in the rate so hopefully that is all taken care of. I'll call the lawyer on Monday to set up the closing.

Work was really good. Dartmouth College is in the next town over and it was apparently Parent's weekend. We were much busier than we had been. I waited on 41 people That couldn't have come at a better time. Maybe someone will call in tomorrow night and I will get to work

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Well we found out today that Emma's teacher will be out until the first week of June, which happens to be the last week of school.

It is truly wreaking havoc on Emma. She is having major emotional outbursts- she spent the entire day at school today in tears over "a deceased aunt" (that's what the sub told Eric this afternoon) It infuriates me that they let her cry the whole day. My neighbor was at the school this afternoon- the 5th graders played softball against the teachers so she was there- called here and somehow I missed her call. We are also having issues with her work, her test grades aren't as great as they were before all this. She brings home 100's after 100's on all of her tests. Today she brought home a 60. She is missing spelling words on her tests. It's not a big deal to Eric and I as we know why they aren't as good as before but she is upset with herself. I sure hope this doesn't affect her love for school.

And then there are the tummy troubles. When things are stressing her she routinely complains of a tummy ache. It's an all day every day complaint lately. I've talked to one other mom and her DD is having the same issues as is another girl.

I plan to call the school on Monday and see if Emma can get in to see the guidance counselor. We talk about it a lot but it seems that nothing Eric or I do is helping her.

Thanks Marci , I can't wait either. I'll keep you posted!

I am glad that the service went well. 's

Katrina spent many years with upset stomachs day after day. It is something that became part of our lives. She spent a lot of time in the nurses office. The nurse knew that it was stress related so helped where she could.

I have reinstalled PhotoImpact on my new laptop. I haven't had in on my machine for almost a year. I'm going to spend some time playing with it while I'm at my sister's.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Nick spent all of 3rd grade with that same tummy ache. It wasn't even that he didn't like his teacher, but he just didn't mesh with her teaching style. Of course we didn't figure it out until the next year when he had an older woman for a teacher and he excelled. He needs strict guidlines and lots of nurturing. I hope that you can get to the bottom of it as it will come up again if you can't put your finger on it

 

[PNO4TE]

On the party front....I've got it figured out Now just have to get the "stuff" for it!!

Tell us!

 

[PNO4TE]

Nah. If I was going to be a troll I would have posted something inflammatory.

 

[tinknme]

Well that is good news!

I told Bob at dinner tonight that you've made me want to go on a Disney cruise! He didn't reject the notion!

 

[tinknme]

Glad you got it figured out! Does Cassidy have a favorite character?

Robyn - for Emma and for you as you work it out

 

[tinknme]

Better start saving now

Alyssa and I were able to catch a little snippet of the Disney show. She has now decided that she wants to get married at WDW and ride in Cinderella's coach. Fine by me!

 

[tinknme]

We don't have much longer & we will be on our way

Glad to hear Emma has no more spots! I can't wait wait to meet you both. I hope Emma is not scared of me

Thanks! Work is done and I packed most of our clothes tonight and even have extra room and am bringing so much more than i usually do. I just have to pull our carryon stuff together. I made Emma some coloring pages on 4x6 index cards. I need to make some postcards and want to make some CM thank you cards. AND...I really want to do Halley's pants.


Thanks! Her spots are nearly gone and no signs of any reactions from the penicillin. She is SO excited!!!
